DTC P0506:00 [L5]

id0102c9705000

DTC P0506:00

IAC system RPM lower than expected
DETECTION CONDITION
• The actual idle speed is lower than expected by 100 rpm for 14 s, when brake pedal is depressed (brake switch is ON) and steering wheel is held straight ahead (PSP switch is off).
Note
• If atmospheric pressure is less than 72.3 kPa {542 mmHg, 21.3 inHg} or intake air temperature is below −10 °C {14 °F}, the PCM cancels diagnosis of P0506:00.
Diagnostic support note
• This is a continuous monitor (CCM).
• The MIL illuminates if the PCM detects the above malfunction condition in two consecutive drive cycles or in one drive cycle while the DTC for the same malfunction has been stored in the PCM.
• PENDING CODE is available if the PCM detects the above malfunction condition during first drive cycle.
• FREEZE FRAME DATA (Mode 2)/Snapshot data is available.
• The DTC is stored in the PCM memory.
POSSIBLE CAUSE
• A/C magnetic clutch malfunction
• Electronic throttle control system related sensor malfunction
― APP sensor malfunction
― TP sensor malfunction
• Purge solenoid valve malfunction
• Air cleaner element clogged
• Throttle body passage clogged
• Generator malfunction
• Engine malfunction
― Insufficient engine compression (over capacity of blow-by gas)
― Poor quality fuel
• PCM malfunction

Diagnostic procedure

STEP

INSPECTION

ACTION
1
VERIFY FREEZE FRAME DATA (MODE 2)/SNAPSHOT DATA HAS BEEN RECORDED
• Has the FREEZE FRAME DATA (Mode 2)/snapshot data been recorded?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Record the FREEZE FRAME DATA (Mode 2)/snapshot data on the repair order, then go to the next step.
2
VERIFY RELATED SERVICE INFORMATION AVAILABILITY
• Verify related Service Information availability.
• Is any related Service Information available?
Yes
Perform repair or diagnosis according to the available Service Information.
• If the vehicle is not repaired, go to the next step.
No
Go to the next step.
3
VERIFY RELATED PENDING CODE AND/OR DTC
• Turn the ignition switch off, then to the ON position (engine off).
• Perform the Pending Trouble Code Access Procedure and DTC Reading Procedure. (See ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC TEST [L5].)
• Are any other PENDING CODEs and/or DTCs present?
Yes
Go to the applicable PENDING CODE or DTC inspection.
(See DTC TABLE [L5].)
No
Go to the next step.
4
INSPECT A/C MAGNETIC CLUTCH OPERATION
• Turn the fan switch off.
• Is the magnetic clutch still on?
Yes
Perform the symptom troubleshooting “NO.24 A/C IS ALWAYS ON OR A/C COMPRESSOR RUNS CONTINUOUSLY”.
(See NO.24 A/C IS ALWAYS ON OR A/C COMPRESSOR RUNS CONTINUOUSLY [L5].)
No
Go to the next step.
5
INSPECT ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL SYSTEM RELATED SENSOR
• Turn the ignition switch off.
• Inspect the following parts:
― APP sensor (See ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION (APP) SENSOR INSPECTION [L5].)
― TP sensor (See THROTTLE POSITION (TP) SENSOR INSPECTION [L5].)
• Is there any malfunction?
Yes
Repair or replace the malfunctioning part according to the inspection results, then go to Step 11.
(See ACCELERATOR PEDAL REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [L5].)
(See INTAKE-AIR SYSTEM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [L5].)
No
Go to the next step.
6
INSPECT PURGE SOLENOID VALVE
• Inspect the purge solenoid valve. (See PURGE SOLENOID VALVE INSPECTION [L5].)
• Is there any malfunction?
Yes
Replace the purge solenoid valve, then go to Step 11.
(See PURGE SOLENOID VALVE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [L5].)
No
Go to the next step.
7
INSPECT AIR CLEANER ELEMENT
• Remove the air cleaner element with the engine running. (See INTAKE-AIR SYSTEM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [L5].)
• Is the engine speed increased?
Yes
Clean or replace the air cleaner element, then go to Step 11.
No
Go to the next step.
8
INSPECT THROTTLE BODY PASSAGE
• Visually inspect the throttle body passage.
• Is the throttle body passage clogged?
Yes
Clean or replace the throttle body passage, then go to Step 11.
No
Go to the next step.
9
INSPECT GENERATOR
• Inspect the generator. (See GENERATOR INSPECTION [L5].)
• Is there any malfunction?
Yes
Replace the generator, then go to Step 11.
(See GENERATOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [L5].)
No
Go to the next step.
10
INSPECT ENGINE COMPRESSION
• Inspect the engine compression. (See COMPRESSION INSPECTION [L5].)
• Is there any malfunction?
Yes
Repair or replace the malfunctioning part according to the inspection results, then go to the next step.
No
Go to the next step.
11
VERIFY DTC TROUBLESHOOTING COMPLETED
• Make sure to reconnect all disconnected connectors.
• Clear the DTC from the PCM memory using the M-MDS. (See AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE [L5].)
• Start the engine and warm it up completely.
• Depress the brake pedal for 14 s or more.
• Perform the Pending Trouble Code Access Procedure. (See ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC TEST [L5].)
• Is the PENDING CODE for this DTC present?
Yes
Replace the PCM, then go to the next step.
(See PCM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [L5].)
No
Go to the next step.
12
VERIFY AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE
• Perform the “AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE”. (See AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE [L5].)
• Are any DTCs present?
Yes
Go to the applicable DTC inspection.
(See DTC TABLE [L5].)
No
DTC troubleshooting completed.
